Physical & online books, media, and more can be located in the following ways:

  1. Search the Library Catalog (use dropdown left-hand side for search types: subject, author, etc.)
                                                      OR
  2. Search for an e-book, choose an e-book database from the list and use the search bar to enter terms
     
    • Remember off-campus access requires log-in with CSUSM User ID and Password
       
  3. Search the CSUSM Pride Center book collection

 

When searching the collections for books and more try these Library of Congress Subject Headings searches.  

This is not a complete list of Library of Congress Subject headings, but a list intended to get your searches started. Also note that these terms may not use the language that you are normally accustomed to and may seem outdated; they are the terms selected by the Library of Congress to arrange materials under a single subject heading and do not necessarily reflect how the LGBTQA community describes themselves.
